[Mailman-Users] Mailman not creating HTML pages

[Grace, Terry]

In your httpd.conf file insert the following directive:

Alias /pipermail/ "$prefix/archives/public/"

where $prefix is the directory where you install mailman

eg Alias /pipermail/ "/usr/local/mailman/archives/public/"

I have a hunch ...

Are you running an Apache web server?? Or more importantly, who owns the
processes for CGI programs that your web server starts? "nobody' is it? That
being the case "nobody" would need to be in your mailman group AND, group
write
permissions need to be set for the /home/httpd/html/mailman directory.

Hows that sound??
